Phone numbe formats - ???

[Guest Julian]

Hi,

I am rather confused about phone number formats in Outlook.

A UK number ends up as +44 (01234) 567890 - This wont dial out from the phone.

With the Int access code, it needs to be +44 1234 567890 - no () or 0,

How to I get Outlook to put numbers in this format (assuming that I am correct!), so that I can dial in any country without having to edit numbers?

Many Thanks,

Julian

I think you have answered your own question here !

The correct format is +44 123456789

Just remove the zero from the local code and add +44

this will allow you to dial contacts from any country you call from.

If you type 01324 567890 into an Outlook Contact, it automatically puts it as +44 (01234) 567890. Is there a "feature" in Outlook (2000) to get it to (by default) save numbers in the format +44 (1327) 567890 or +44 1327 567890 (whichever is correct)?

Does the area code in dialling properties need to be set to 1234 rather than 01234?

Thanks,

Julian

I don't think you want Outlook to do anything automatically - don't be lazy and type it in +44 format straight away.. or end up getting an odd one F****D up
